Swedish and Finnish authorities have identified a Chinese vessel, the Yi Peng 3, anchored northeast of Denmark, as potentially connected to recent incidents of damage to data cables in the Baltic Sea. The ship is currently under scrutiny as part of ongoing criminal investigations.
The Yi Peng 3 was located near two cables that facilitate connections between the Nordic countries and Germany and Lithuania when they sustained damage earlier this month. The police in Sweden and Finland are treating these incidents as deliberate acts and are actively investigating the circumstances surrounding them.
